Local teens have an opportunity to step into leadership and community service through Youth RISE!, a youth-based initiative organized by Healthy Communities of Clinton County Coalition.
Applications are now open for the 2026 Youth RISE! program, with a firm deadline of March 22, 2026. Organizers note that no exceptions will be made after the deadline.
Youth RISE! is designed to build responsible, engaged, and community-minded teens by offering hands-on service opportunities and leadership development. The program focuses on empowering young people to create positive change both among their peers and throughout the broader Clinton County community.
Participants can gain valuable experience in teamwork, civic engagement, and project planning while learning different approaches that support and strengthen youth involvement.
The initiative aims to cultivate a generation of leaders who are not only active in their schools but also invested in the well-being and growth of their community.
Teens interested in applying are encouraged to sign up before the March 22 deadline. Additional information and application details are available through the coalition.
